WisGOP Statement on SCOWIS Dismissal of Democrat Lawsuit to Remove Jill Stein from November Ballot

MADISON, Wis — If you are covering the Wisconsin Supreme Court declining to hear a lawsuit from Democrats seeking to bar Jill Stein from Wisconsin’s presidential ballot this November, please consider the following statement from WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming:

“Today’s decision is a win for democracy and fair elections. For years, Democrats have silenced and disenfranchised Wisconsin voters by removing inconvenient candidates from the ballot. This time around, their undemocratic schemes have failed. If Democrats hope to win over voters, they will have to do so through earnest persuasion instead of disqualification.” —WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming
